The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method for transmitting a demodulation reference signal for an uplink data and a device for supporting the same.

BACKGROUND ART

Mobile communication systems have been generally developed to provide voice services while guaranteeing user mobility. Such mobile communication systems have gradually expanded their coverage from voice services through data services up to high-speed data services. However, as current mobile communication systems suffer resource shortages and users demand even higher-speed services, development of more advanced mobile communication systems is needed.

The requirements of the next-generation mobile communication system may include supporting huge data traffic, a remarkable increase in the transfer rate of each user, the accommodation of a significantly increased number of connection devices, very low end-to-end latency, and high energy efficiency. To this end, various techniques, such as small cell enhancement, dual connectivity, massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO), in-band full duplex, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), supporting super-wide band, and device networking, have been researched.

NR Radio Access (NR)

As more and more communication devices require larger communication capacity, there is a need for improved mobile broadband communication compared to the existing radio access technology (RAT). Further, massive machine type communications (MTCs), which provide various services anytime and anywhere by connecting many devices and objects, are one of the major issues to be considered in the next generation communication. In addition, a communication system design considering a service/UE sensitive to reliability and latency is being discussed. The introduction of next generation radio access technology considering enhanced mobile broadband communication (eMBB), massive MTC (mMTC), ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) is discussed, and in the present disclosure, the technology is called new RAT for convenience. The NR is an expression representing an example of 5G radio access technology (RAT).

In a New RAT system including NR uses an OFDM transmission scheme or a similar transmission scheme thereto. The new RAT system may follow OFDM parameters different from OFDM parameters of LTE. Alternatively, the new RAT system may follow numerology of conventional LTE/LTE-A as it is or have a larger system bandwidth (e.g., 100 MHz). Alternatively, one cell may support a plurality of numerologies. In other words, UEs that operate with different numerologies may coexist in one cell.

The numerology corresponds to one subcarrier spacing in a frequency domain. Different numerology may be defined by scaling reference subcarrier spacing to an integer N.

System Architecture

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating one example of an NR system architecture.

Referring to FIG. 1 , NG-RAN is constituted by an NG-RA user plane (new AS sublayer/PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY) and gNBs providing a control plane (RRC) protocol termination for a user equipment (UE). The gNBs are interconnected through an Xn interface. The gNB is also connected to NGC through an NG interface. More specifically, the gNB is connected to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) through an N₂ interface and a User Plane Function (UPF) through an N₃ interface.

Frame Structure

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating one example of a frame structure in NR.

The NR system may support multiple numerologies. Here, the numerology may be defined by a subcarrier spacing and cyclic prefix (CP) overhead. In this case, multiple subcarrier spacings may be derived by scaling a basic subcarrier spacing with an integer N (or μ). Further, even if it is assumed that a very low subcarrier spacing is not used at a very high carrier frequency, the used numerology may be selected independently of a frequency band.

In addition, in the NR systems, various frame structures depending on multiple numerologies may be supported.

Hereinafter, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) numerology and the frame structure which may be considered in the NR system will be described.

Multiple OFDM numerologies supported in the NR systems may be defined as shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 μ Δƒ = 2^(μ) · 15 [kHz] Cyclic prefix(CP) 0  15 Normal 1  30 Normal 2  60 Normal, Extended 3 120 Normal 4 240 Normal

The NR supports multiple numerologies (or subcarrier spacing (SCS)) for supporting various 5G services. For example, when the SCS is 15 kHz, a wide area in traditional cellular bands is supported and when the SCS is 30 kHz/60 kHz, dense-urban, lower latency, and wider carrier bandwidth are supported, and when the SCS is 60 kHz or higher therethan, a bandwidth larger than 24.25 GHz is supported in order to overcome phase noise.

An NR frequency band is defined as frequency ranges of two types (FR1 and FR2). FR1 may mean a sub 6-GHz range and FR2 as above 6-GHz range may mean millimeter wave (mmW).

Table 2 below shows a definition of an NR frequency band.

TABLE 2 Frequency Range Corresponding frequency Subcarrier designation range Spacing FR1  450 MHz-6000 MHz 15, 30, 60 KHz FR2 24250 MHz-52600 MHz 60, 120, 240 KHz

With respect to the frame structure in the NR system, sizes of various fields of a time domain is expressed in multiples of a time unit of T_(s)=1/(Δf_(max)·N_(f)). Here, Δf_(max)=480·10³ and N_(f)=4096. Downlink and uplink transmission is configured by a radio frame having an interval of T_(f)=(Δf_(max)N_(f)/100)·T_(s)=10 ms. Here, the radio frame is constituted by 10 subframes each having an interval of T_(sf)=(Δf_(max)N_(f)/1000)·T_(s)=1 ms. In this case, there may be one set of frames for uplink and one set of frames for downlink.

Further, transmission of uplink frame number i from the user equipment (UE) should be started earlier than the start of the downlink frame in the corresponding UE by T_(TA)=N_(TA)T_(s).

For numerology μ, slots are numbered in an increasing order of

n_(s)^(μ) ∈ {0, …, N_(subframe)^(slots, μ) − 1} in the subframe and numbered in an increasing order of

n_(s, f)^(μ) ∈ {0, …, N_(frame)^(slots, μ) − 1} in the radio frame. One slot is constituted by N_(symb) ^(μ) consecutive OFDM symbols and N_(symb) ^(μ) is determined according to the used numerology and a slot configuration. A start of slot n_(s) ^(μ) in the subframe is temporally aligned with the start of OFDM symbol n_(s) ^(μ)N_(symb) ^(μ) in the same subframe.

All UEs may not simultaneously perform transmission and reception and this means that all OFDM symbols of a downlink slot or an uplink slot may not be used.

Table 3 shows the number N_(symb) ^(slot) of OFDM symbols for each slot, the number N_(slot) ^(frame,μ) of slots for each radio frame, and the number N_(slot) ^(subframe,μ) of slots for each subframe in a normal CP and Table 4 shows the number of OFDM symbols for each slot, the number of slots for each radio frame, and the number of slots for each subframe in an extended CP.

TABLE 3 μ N_(symb) ^(slot) N_(slot) ^(frame, μ) N_(slot) ^(subframe, μ) 0 14  10  1 1 14  20  2 2 14  40  4 3 14  80  8 4 14 160 16

TABLE 4 μ N_(symb) ^(slot) N_(slot) ^(frame, μ) N_(slot) ^(subframe, μ) 2 12 40 4

FIG. 2 illustrates one example of a case where μ=2 and referring to Table 3, 1 subframe may include 4 slots. 1 subframe={1, 2, 4} slots illustrated in FIG. 2 is one example and the number of slots which may be included in 1 subframe is defined as shown in Table 3 or 4.

Further, mini-slot may include 2, 4, or 7 symbols or may include more symbols or less symbols therethan.

Physical Resource

With respect to the physical resource in the NR system, an antenna port, a resource grid, a resource element, a resource block, a carrier part, and the like may be considered.

Hereinafter, the physical resources which may be considered in the NR system will be described in detail.

First, with respect to the antenna port, the antenna port is defined so that a channel in which the symbol on the antenna port is transported may be inferred from a channel in which different symbols on the same antenna port are transported. When a large-scale property of a channel in which a symbol on one antenna port is transported may be interred from a channel in which symbols on different antenna ports are transported, two antenna ports may have a quasi co-located or quasi co-location (QC/QCL) relationship. Here, the large-scale property includes at least one of a delay spread, a Doppler spread, a frequency shift, average received power, and a received timing.

FIG. 3 illustrates one example of a resource grid in NR.

Referring to FIG. 3 , it is exemplarily described that the resource grid is constituted by N_(RB) ^(μ)N_(sc) ^(RB) subcarriers on the frequency domain and one subframe is constituted by 14·2μ OFDM symbols, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In the NR system, a transmitted signal is described by one or more resource grids constituted by N_(RB) ^(μ)N_(sc) ^(RB) subcarriers and 2^(μ)N_(symb) ^((μ)) OFDM symbols. Here, N_(RB) ^(μ)≤N_(RB) ^(max,μ). The N_(RB) ^(max,μ) represents a maximum transmission bandwidth and this may vary between uplink and downlink in addition to numerologies.

In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 2 , one resource grid may be configured for each numerology μ and antenna port p.

Each resource element of the resource grid for the numerology μ and the antenna port p is referred to as the resource element and uniquely identified by an index pair (k,l). Here, k=0, . . . , N_(RB) ^(μ)N_(sc) ^(RB)−1 represents an index on the frequency domain and Ī=0, . . . , 2^(μ)N_(symb) ^((μ))−1 refers to the position of the symbol in the subframe. When the resource element in the slot is referred to, the index pair (k,l) is used. Here, l=0, . . . , N_(symb) ^(μ)−1.

A resource element for the numerology μ and the antenna port p corresponds to a complex value a_(k,l) ^((p,μ)). When there is no risk of confusion or when a specific antenna port or numerology is not specified, the indexes p and μ may be dropped, and as a result, the complex value may be a_(k,l) ^((p)) or a_(k,l) .

Further, the resource block (RB) is defined N_(sc) ^(RB)=12 consecutive subcarriers on the frequency domain.

Point A serves as a common reference point of a resource block grid and is acquired as follows.

-   -   OffsetToPointA for PCell downlink indicates the frequency offset         between the lowest subcarrier of the lowest resource block         overlapping the SS/PBCH block used by the UE for initial cell         selection and point A and is expressed by resource block units         assuming a 15 kHz subcarrier spacing for FR1 and a 60 kHz         subcarrier spacing for FR2; and     -   absoluteFrequencyPointA indicates the frequency-position of         point A expressed as in an absolute radio-frequency channel         number (ARFCN).

Common resource blocks are numbered upward from 0 in the frequency domain for a subcarrier spacing configuration μ.

A center of subcarrier 0 common resource block 0 for the subcarrier spacing configuration μ coincides with ‘point A’. A resource element (k,l) for the common resource block number n_(CRB) ^(μ) and the subcarrier spacing configuration μ in the frequency domain is given as shown in Equation 1 below.

$\begin{matrix} {n_{CRB}^{\mu} = \left\lfloor \frac{k}{N_{sc}^{RB}} \right\rfloor} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}1} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

Here, k is relatively defined at point A so that k=0 to correspond to the subcarrier centering point A. Physical resource blocks are numbered from 0 to N_(BWP,i) ^(size)−1 within a bandwidth part (BWP) and r represents the number of the BWP. A relationship between physical resource block n_(PRB) and common resource bock n_(CRB) is given by Equation D2 below. n _(CRB) =n _(PRB) +N _(BWP,i) ^(start)  [Equation 2]

Here, N_(BWP,i) ^(start) represents a common resource block in which the BWP relatively starts to common resource block 0.

Bandwidth Part (BWP)

The NR system may support up to 400 MHz per component carrier (CC). If a UE which operates in wideband CC operates while continuously turning on RF for all CCs, UE battery consumption may increase. Alternatively, when several use cases (e.g., eMBB, URLLC, Mmtc, V2X, etc.) which operate in one wideband CC are considered, different numerologies (e.g., sub-carrier spacing) may be supported for each frequency band in the corresponding CC. Alternatively, a capability for the maximum bandwidth may vary for each UE. By considering this, the eNB may instruct the UE to operate only in a partial bandwidth rather than the entire bandwidth of the wideband CC and the corresponding partial bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth part (BWP) for convenience. The BWP may be constituted by consecutive resource blocks (RBs) on the frequency axis and may correspond to one numerology (e.g., sub-carrier spacing, CP length, slot/mini-slot duration).

Meanwhile, the eNB may configure multiple BWPs even in one CC configured to the UE. As one example, a BWP occupying a relatively small frequency domain may be configured in a PDCCH monitoring slot and PDSCH indicated in PDCCH may be scheduled onto a BWP larger therethan. Alternatively, when UEs are concentrated on a specific BWP, some UEs may be configured to other BWPs for load balancing. Alternatively, a partial spectrum of the entire bandwidth may be excluded both BWPs may be configured even in the same slot by considering frequency domain inter-cell interference cancellation between neighboring cells. In other words, the eNB may configure at least one DL/UL BWP to the UE associated with the wideband CC and activate at least one DL/UL BWP (by L1 signaling or MAC CE or RRC signaling) among configured DL/UL BWP(s) at a specific time and switching may be indicated to another configured DL/UL BWP (by L1 signaling or MAC CE or RRC signaling) or when a timer value is expired based on a timer, the timer value may be switched to the DL/UL BWP. In this case, the activated DL/UL BWP is defined as an active DL/UL BWP. However, in a situation in which the UE is in an initial access process or before RRC connection is set up, the UE may not receive a configuration for the DL/UL BWP and in such a situation, the DL/UL BWP assumed by the UE is defined as an initial active DL/UL BWP.

3GPP Signal Transmitting and Receiving Method

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating one example of a 3GPP signal transmitting and receiving method.

Referring to FIG. 5 , when the UE is powered on or newly enters a cell, the UE performs an initial cell search operation such as synchronizing with the eNB (S201). To this end, the UE may receive a Primary Synchronization Channel (P-SCH) and a Secondary Synchronization Channel (S-SCH) from the eNB and synchronize with the eNB and acquire information such as a cell ID or the like. Thereafter, the UE may receive a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) from the eNB and acquire in-cell broadcast information. Meanwhile, the UE receives a Downlink Reference Signal (DL RS) in an initial cell search step to check a downlink channel status.

A UE that completes the initial cell search receives a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDSCH) according to information loaded on the PDCCH to acquire more specific system information (S202).

Meanwhile, when there is no radio resource first accessing the eNB or for signal transmission, the UE may perform a Random Access Procedure (RACH) to the eNB (S203 to S206). To this end, the UE may transmit a specific sequence to a preamble through a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) (S203 and S205) and receive a response message for the preamble through the PDCCH and a corresponding PDSCH (S204 and S206). In the case of a contention based RACH, a Contention Resolution Procedure may be additionally performed.

The UE that performs the above procedure may then perform PDCCH/PDSCH reception (S207) and Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)/Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission (S208) as a general uplink/downlink signal transmission procedure. In particular, the UE receives Downlink Control Information (DCI) through the PDCCH. Here, the DCI may include control information such as resource allocation information for the UE and formats may be different from each other according to a use purpose.

Meanwhile, the control information which the UE transmits to the eNB through the uplink or the UE receives from the eNB includes a downlink/uplink ACK/NACK signal, a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), a Precoding Matrix Index (PMI), a Rank Indicator (RI), and the like. In the case of the 3GPP LTE system, the UE may transmit the control information such as the CQI/PMI/RI, etc., through the PUSCH and/or PUCCH.

Table 5 shows one example of a DCI format in the NR system.

Information included in DCI format 0_0 is CRC-scrambled and transmitted by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI. In addition, DCI format 0_1 is used for reserving the PUSCH in one cell. Information included in DCI format 0_1 is CRC-scrambled and transmitted by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI. DCI format 1_0 is sued for scheduling of the PDSCH in one DL cell. Information included in DCI format 1_0 is CRC-scrambled and transmitted by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI. DCI format 1_1 is sued for scheduling of the PDSCH in one cell. Information included in DCI format 1_1 is CRC-scrambled and transmitted by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI. DCI format 2_1 is used to inform PRB(s) and OFDM symbol(s) of which the UE may assume not intending transmission.

The following information included in DCI format 2_1 is CRC-scrambled and transmitted by INT-RNTI.

A base station (BS) may be replaced with terms including a fixed station, a Node B, an evolved-NodeB (eNB), a Next Generation NodeB (gNB), a base transceiver system (BTS), an access point (AP), general NB (gNB), a 5G system, a network, an AI system, a road side unit (RSU), a robot, and the like. Further, a ‘terminal’ may be fixed or mobile and may be replaced with terms including a mobile station (UE), a mobile station (MS), a user terminal (UT), a mobile subscriber station (MSS), a subscriber station (SS) Advanced Mobile Station (WT), a Wireless Terminal (WT), a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) device, a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) device, and a Device-to-Device (D2D) device, a vehicle, a robot, an AI module, and the like.

The first communication device and the second communication device include processors 911 and 921, memories 914 and 924, one or more Tx/Rx radio frequency (RF) modules 915 and 925, Tx processors 912 and 922, Rx processors 913 and 923, and antennas 916 and 926. The processor implements a function, a process, and/or a method which are described above. More specifically, a higher layer packet from a core network is provided to the processor 911 in DL (communication from the first communication device to the second communication device). The processor implements a function of an L2 layer. In the DL, the processor provides multiplexing between a logical channel and a transmission channel and allocation of radio resources to the second communication device 920 and takes charge of signaling to the second communication device. The transmit (TX) processor 912 implement various signal processing functions for an L1 layer (i.e., physical layer). The signal processing functions facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device and include coding and interleaving. Encoded and modulated symbols are divided into parallel streams, each stream is mapped to an OFDM subcarrier, multiplexed with a reference signal (RS) in a time and/or frequency domain, and combined together by using inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) to create a physical channel carrying a time domain OFDMA symbol stream. An OFDM stream is spatially precoded in order to create multiple spatial streams. Respective spatial streams may be provided to different antennas 916 via individual Tx/Rx modules (or transceivers, 915). Each Tx/Rx module may modulate an RF carrier into each spatial stream for transmission. In the second communication device, each Tx/Rx module (or transceiver, 925) receives a signal through each antenna 926 of each Tx/Rx module. Each Tx/Rx module reconstructs information modulated with the RF carrier and provides the reconstructed information to the receive (RX) processor 923. The RX processor implements various signal processing functions of layer 1. The RX processor may perform spatial processing on information in order to reconstruct an arbitrary spatial stream which is directed for the second communication device. When multiple spatial streams are directed to the second communication device, the multiple spatial streams may be combined into a single OFDMA symbol stream by multiple RX processors. The RX processor transforms the OFDMA symbol stream from the time domain to the frequency domain by using fast Fourier transform (FFT). A frequency domain signal includes individual OFDMA symbol streams for respective subcarriers of the OFDM signal. Symbols on the respective subcarriers and the reference signal are reconstructed and demodulated by determining most likely signal arrangement points transmitted by the first communication device. The soft decisions may be based on channel estimation values. The soft decisions are decoded and deinterleaved to reconstruct data and control signals originally transmitted by the first communication device on the physical channel. The corresponding data and control signals are provided to the processor 921.

UL (communication from the second communication device to the first communication device) is processed by the first communication device 910 in a scheme similar to a description of a receiver function in the second communication device 920. Each Tx/Rx module 925 receives the signal through each antenna 926. Each Tx/Rx module provides the RF carrier and information to the RX processor 923. The processor 921 may be associated with the memory 924 storing a program code and data. The memory may be referred to as a computer readable medium.

Initial Access (IA) Procedure

Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) transmission and related operation

FIG. 7 illustrates an SSB structure. The UE may perform cell search, system information acquisition, beam alignment for initial access, DL measurement, etc., based on an SSB. The SSB is mixedly used with an SS/Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast channel (PBCH) block.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the SSB is constituted by PSS, SSS, and PBCH. The SSB is constituted by four continuous OFDM symbols and the PSS, the PBCH, the SSS/PBCH, and the PBCH are transmitted for each OFDM symbol. Each of the PSS and the SSS may be constituted by one OFDM symbol and 127 subcarriers and the PBCH is constituted by 3 OFDM symbols and 576 subcarriers. Polar coding and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) are applied to the PBCH. The PBCH is constituted by a data RE and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) RE for each OFDM symbol. Three DMRS REs exist for each RB, and three data REs exist between DMRS REs.

Cell Search

The cell search refers to a process of acquiring time/frequency synchronization of the cell and detecting a cell identifier (ID) (e.g., physical layer cell ID (PCID)) of the cell by the UE. The PSS is used to detect the cell ID within a cell ID group and the SSS is used to detect the cell ID group. The PBCH is used for SSB (time) index detection and half-frame detection.

A cell search process of the UE may be organized as shown in Table 6 below.

TABLE 6 Type of Signals Operations 1st step PSS SS/PBCH block (SSB) symbol timing acquisition Cell ID detection within a cell ID group (3 hypothesis) 2nd Step SSS Cell ID group detection (336 hypothesis) 3rd Step PBCH DMRS SSB index and Half frame (HF) index (Slot and frame boundary detection) 4th Step PBCH Time information (80 ms, System Frame Number (SFN), SSB index, HF) Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI) Control resource set (CORESET)/Search space configuration 5th Step PDCCH and Cell access information PDSCH RACH configuration

There are 336 cell ID groups, and three cell IDs exist for each cell ID group. There may be a total of 1008 cell IDs and the cell ID may be defined by Equation 3. N _(ID) ^(cell)=3N _(ID) ⁽¹⁾ +N _(ID) ⁽²⁾  [Equation 3]

Here, N_(ID) ⁽¹⁾∈{0, 1, . . . , 335} and N_(ID) ⁽¹⁾∈{0,1,2}

Here, NcellID represents a cell ID (e.g., PCID). N(1)ID represents a cell ID group and is provided/acquired through the SSS. N(2)ID represents a cell ID in the cell ID group and is provided/acquired through the PSS.

FIG. 8 illustrates SSB transmission.

The SSB is periodically transmitted according to SSB periodicity. An SSB basic periodicity assumed by the UE in initial cell search is defined as 20 ms. After cell access, the SSB periodicity may be configured by one of {5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, 160 ms} by the network (e.g., eNB). At a beginning part of the SSB periodicity, a set of SSB bursts is configured. The SSB burst set may be configured by a 5-ms time window (i.e., half-frame) and the SSB may be transmitted up to L times within the SS burst set. L which is the maximum number of transmissions of the SSB may be given as follows according to a frequency band of a carrier. One slot includes up to two SSBs.

-   -   For frequency range up to 3 GHz, L=4     -   For frequency range from 3 GHz to 6 GHz, L=8     -   For frequency range from 6 GHz to 52.6 GHz, L=64

A time position of an SSB candidate in the SS burst set may be defined as follows according to SCS. The time positions of the SSB candidates are indexed from 0 to L−1 in chronological order within the SSB burst set (i.e., half-frame).

-   -   Case A—15 kHz SCS: An index of a start symbol of the candidate         SSB is given as {2, 8}+14*n. When a carrier frequency is 3 GHz         or less, n=0, 1. When the carrier frequency is 3 to 6 GHz or         less, n=0, 1, 2, 3.     -   Case B—30 kHz SCS: The index of the start symbol of the         candidate SSB is given as {4, 8, 16, 20}+28*n. When the carrier         frequency is 3 GHz or less, n=0. When the carrier frequency is 3         to 6 GHz, n=0, 1.     -   Case C—30 kHz SCS: The index of the start symbol of the         candidate SSB is given as {2, 8}+14*n. When the carrier         frequency is 3 GHz or less, n=0, 1. When the carrier frequency         is 3 to 6 GHz or less, n=0, 1, 2, 3.     -   Case D—120 kHz SCS: The index of the start symbol of the         candidate SSB is given as {4, 8, 16, 20}+28*n. When the carrier         frequency is more than 6 GHz, n=0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11,         12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18.     -   Case E—240 kHz SCS: The index of the start symbol of the         candidate SSB is given as {8, 12, 16, 20, 32, 36, 40, 44}+56*n.         When the carrier frequency is more than 6 GHz, n=0, 1, 2, 3, 5,         6, 7, 8.

FIG. 9 illustrates that a UE acquires information on DL time synchronization.

The UE may acquire DL synchronization by detecting the SSB. The UE may identify the structure of the SSB burst set based on the detected SSB index, and thus detect a symbol/slot/half-frame boundary. The number of the frame/half-frame to which the detected SSB belongs may be identified using SFN information and half-frame indication information.

Specifically, the UE may acquire 10-bit System Frame Number (SFN) information from the PBCH (s0 to s9). 6 bits of the 10-bit SFN information are obtained from a Master Information Block (MIB), and the remaining 4 bits are obtained from a PBCH Transport Block (TB).

Next, the UE may acquire 1-bit half-frame indication information (c0). When a carrier frequency is 3 GHz or less, the half-frame indication information may be implicitly signaled using PBCH DMRS. The PBCH DMRS indicates 3-bit information by using one of eight PBCH DMRS sequences. Accordingly, in the case of L=4, 1 bit which remains after indicating the SSB index among 3 bits which may be indicated by using eight PBCH DRMS sequences may be used for half frame indication.

Last, the UE may acquire the SSB index based on a DMRS sequence and a PBCH payload. SSB candidates are indexed from 0 to L−1 in chronological order within the SSB burst set (i.e., half-frame). In the case of L=8 or 64, Least Significant Bit (LSB) 3 bits of the SSB index may be indicated using eight different PBCH DMRS sequences (b0 to b2). In the case of L=64, Most Significant Bit (MSB) 3 bits of the SSB index are indicated through the PBCH (b3 to b5). In the case of L=2, LSB 2 bits of the SSB index may be indicated using four different PBCH DMRS sequences (b0 and b1). In the case of L=4, 3 bits which remain after indicating the SSB index among 3 bits which may be indicated by using eight PBCH DRMS sequences may be used for the half frame indication (b2).

System Information Acquisition

FIG. 10 illustrates a system information (SI) acquisition process. The UE may acquire AS-/NAS-information through an SI acquisition process. The SI acquisition process may be applied to UEs which are in an RRC_IDLE state, an RRC_INACTIVE state, an RRC_CONNECTED state.

The SI is divided into a master information block (MIB) and a plurality of system information blocks (SIB). SI other than the MIB may be referred to as Remaining Minimum System Information (RSI). The following may be referred to for details.

-   -   The MIB includes information/parameters related to         SystemInformationBlock1 (SIB1) reception and is transmitted         through the PBCH of the SSB. In initial cell selection, the UE         assumes that the half frame with the SSB is repeated with a         periodicity of 20 ms. The UE may check whether a Control         Resource Set (CORESET) for a Type0-PDCCH common search space         exists based on the MIB. The Type0-PDCCH common search space is         a kind of PDCCH search space and is used to transmit a PDCCH for         scheduling an SI message. If there is the Type0-PDCCH common         search space, the UE may (i) a plurality of continuous RBs and         one or more continuous symbols constituting the CORESET and (ii)         a PDCCH occasion (i.e., a time domain location for receiving the         PDCCH) based on information (e.g., pdcch-ConfigSIB1) in the MIB.         If there is no Type0-PDCCH common search space, pdcch-ConfigSIB1         provides information on a frequency location where SSB/SIB1         exists and a frequency range where the SSB/SIB1 does not exist.     -   The SIB1 contains information related to the availability and         scheduling (e.g., transmission periodicity, SI-window size) of         the remaining SIBs (hereinafter, referred to as SIBx, x is an         integer of 2 or more). For example, the SIB1 may inform whether         the SIBx is periodically broadcasted or whether the SIBx is         provided by a request of the UE according to an on-demand         scheme. When the SIBx is provided by the on-demand scheme, the         SIB1 may include information which the UE requires for         performing an SI request. The SIB1 is transmitted through the         PDSCH, the PDCCH for scheduling the SIB1 is transmitted through         the Type0-PDCCH common search space, and the SIB1 is transmitted         through the PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH.     -   The SIBx is included in the SI message and transmitted through         the PDSCH. Each SI message is transmitted within a time window         (i.e., SI-window) which periodically occurs.

Channel Measurement and Rate-Matching

FIG. 11 illustrates a method for informing SSB (SSB_tx) which is actually transmitted.

In the SSB burst set, up to L SSBs may be transmitted and the numbers/positions of SSB which are actually transmitted may vary for each eNB/cell. The number/positions of SSBs which are actually transmitted are used for rate-matching and measurement and information on the actually transmitted SSB is indicated as follows.

-   -   In case related to rate-matching: The information may be         indicated through UE-specific RRC signaling or RMSI. The         UE-specific RRC signaling includes a full (e.g., length L)         bitmap in both below 6 GHz and above 6 GHz frequency ranges.         Meanwhile, the RMSI includes the full bitmap below 6 GHz and a         compression type bitmap as illustrated in FIG. 11 above 6 GHz.         Specifically, the information on the actually transmitted SSB         may be indicated by using group-bitmap (8 bits)+in-group bitmap         (8 bits). Herein, a resource (e.g., RE) indicated through the         UE-specific RRC signaling or RMSI may be reserved for SSB         transmission and the PDSCH/PUSCH may be rate-matched by         considering SSB resources.     -   In case related to measurement: When the network is in an RRC         connected mode, the network (e.g., eNB) may indicate an SSB set         to be measured in a measurement interval. The SSB set may be         indicated for each frequency layer. When there is no indication         for the SSB set, a default SSB set is used. The default SSB set         includes all SSBs in the measurement interval. The SSB set may         be indicated by using the full (e.g., length L) bitmap of the         RRC signaling. When the network is in an RRC idle, the default         SSB set is used.

The contents (NR system, frame structure, etc.) described above may be applied in combination with methods proposed in the present disclosure to be described below or may be supplemented to clarify technical features of the methods proposed in the present disclosure.

The expression of ‘A/B’ used in the present disclosure may be construed as the same meaning as A and/or B and at least one of A or B.

Several sequences having a specific length may be predefined. This may be used for transmission of uplink and/or downlink data signal/control signal/reference signal. The predefined sequence may be defined (or determined) according to several criteria including Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) characteristics, auto-correlation characteristics, and the like.

The present disclosure proposes a method for designing a length-N(the length of the sequence is N) in which each element of the sequence is constituted by symbols such as M-Phase Shift Keying (PSK), M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), etc.

When a Frequency Domain Spectrum Shaping (FDSS) filter is used, it is generally known that the PAPR performance is enhanced. As an example therefor, FIG. 7 may be illustrated. For this reason, schemes are proposed, which consider the FDSS filter together in order to design a sequence constituted by pi/2 BPSK modulation symbols and a sequence constituted by M-PSK symbols.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating PAPR performance of many sequences for a case where an FDSS filter is used and a case where the FDSS filter is not used.

In FIG. 12 , the FDSS filter corresponds to a time domain response of [0.28 1 0.28]. Here, [0.28 1 0.28] indicates that a side of a high center filter is cut off in the frequency domain.

In FIG. 12 , reference numeral 710 represents PAPR performance of a sequence using FDSS and reference numeral 720 represents PAPR performance of a sequence not using the FDSS.

When PAPR performance for a large number of sequences is viewed, it can be seen that the PAPR performance is enhanced in the case of using the FDSS filter.

For example, the FDSS corresponds to a time domain response of [0.28, 0.28, 1.00].

However, when the PAPR performance is viewed from the viewpoint of a specific one sequence, an optimal FDSS filter for minimizing the PAPR may vary for each sequence. However, when a different filter is used for each sequence, problems such as computation complexity and/or unnecessary implementation complexity of the eNB and the UE may occur. Further, the used filter may vary depending on UE and eNB implementation and the FDSS may not be used due to an increase in complexity or an increase in block error rate (BLER) depending on the use of the FDSS.

Accordingly, the present disclosure proposes a method for configuring (or defining) a sequence set by considering both a case of using the FDSS filter and a case of not using the FDSS filter when a length-N sequence set constituted by M-PSK or M-QAM symbols is configured (or defined or used).

Hereinafter, methods (or proposals) proposed in the present disclosure may be applied to waveform (CP-OFDM (or transform precoding disabled) and DFT-s-OFDM (transform precoding enabled)) used for DL transmission and/or UL transmission, respectively. In this regard, the UE may receive, from the eNB, information on a waveform to which the following proposed methods are to be applied through the RRC signaling.

In other words, the RRC signaling may include information on a type of waveform to be used for the DL transmission and/or UL transmission. In addition, the RRC signaling may be a configuration IE form of a reference signal (RS) to which a sequence generating method proposed below may be applied.

When the information indicating the type of waveform is included as the RS configuration IE form, the information may include fields (or parameters or information) shown in tables below.

Table 7 shows one example of a case where CP-OFDM is applied.

TABLE 7 transformPrecodingdisabled RS related parameters for CP-OFDM

Table 8 shows one example of a case where DFT-s-OFDM is applied.

TABLE 8 transformPrecodingEnabled RS related parameters for DFT-s-OFDM

The transform precoding may be used as an expression such as transformer precoder.

Further, equations and values related to pseudo-random sequence(c(i)) described below may be used for generation of the sequence and determination of an initialization value of the sequence proposed below.

Normal pseudo-random sequences are defined by a length-31 gold sequence. An output sequence c(n) having a length of M_(PN) is defined by Equation 3 below. Here, n=0, 1, . . . , M_(PN)−1.

$\begin{matrix} {{c(n)} = {\left( {{x_{1}\left( {n + N_{C}} \right)} + {x_{2}\left( {n + N_{C}} \right)}} \right){mod}2}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}6} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$ x₁(n + 31) = (x₁(n + 3) + x₁(n))mod2 x₂(n + 31) = (x₂(n + 3) + x₂(n + 2) + x₂(n + 1) + x₂(n))mod2

Here, N_(C)=1600 and a first m-sequence x₁(n) will be initialized to x₁(0)=1, x₁(n)=0, n=1, 2, . . . , 30.

Initialization of a second m-sequence x₂(n) is described by

$c_{init} = {\sum_{i = 0}^{30}{{x_{2}(i)} \cdot 2^{i}}}$ having a value depending on application of the sequence.

(Method 1)

K (>0) sequences (a set of K sequences) in which the length of the sequence is N (>0) and each element of the sequence is constituted by M-QAM symbols may be designed (or generated or defined) according to a rule (or condition) presented below. Here, since the sequence has a length of N, the total number of sequences which may be considered is M^(N). In other words, it may be regarded that a rule (or condition) of selecting (or choosing) a total of K(K≤M^(N)) sequences among a total of M^(N) available sequences is proposed.

{circle around (1)} Among a total of M^(N) sequences, K sequences may be chosen (or determined) to have a cross-correlation characteristic of a specific threshold or a specific level or less with each other.

{circle around (2)} Among a total of M^(N) sequences, K sequences having a low auto correlation characteristic of a specific threshold or a specific level or less with each other may be chosen (or determined). The auto-correlation value may be for a specific correlation lag and K sequences may be chosen (or determined) by considering a threshold for an auto-correlation value for one or more correlation lags.

{circle around (3)} Among a total of M^(N) sequences, K sequences having a low cyclic shift auto-correlation characteristic of a specific threshold or specific level or less may be chosen (or determined). As a more specific example, K sequences may be chosen in which a correlation between cyclic shift and not cyclic shift of +L, +L−1, +L−2, . . . , −L+1, and/or −L elements in the length-N sequence is low. The L is equal to or smaller than N−1.

In other words, when an n-th specific sequence is defined as x_(u)(n), sequences in which a value of Equation 7 below is small may be chosen.

{circle around (4)} Among K chosen sequences, all available cyclic shifted forms of a specific length-N sequence may be regarded as the same sequence. Accordingly, among K chosen sequences, no specific sequence is the same as an available cyclic shifted form of another sequence.

{circle around (5)} Among a total of M^(N) sequences, when a specific FDSS filter is applied to K sequences, the sequence may be chosen (or determined or defined) so as to show a low PAPR characteristic of a specific threshold or specific level (e.g., X (>0) dB) or less.

For example, the FDSS filter may be an FDSS filter corresponding to the time domain response [0.28 1 0.28].

Additionally, it may be considered that two or more multiple FDSS filters are used. Since the PAPR performance shown when applying each FDSS filter varies depending on the specific sequence, multiple FDSS filters may be used by considering that the PAPR performance shown when applying each FDSS filter varies depending on the specific sequence.

{circle around (6)} Among a total of M^(N) sequences, the sequence may be chosen (or determined or defined) so as to show a low PAPR characteristic of a specific threshold or specific level (e.g., Y(>0) dB) or less even though the FDSS filter is not used in K sequences.

{circle around (7)} Sequences of a form in which the same phase is multiplied for each sequence element in a specific length-N sequence are regarded as the same sequence without being considered as different sequences.

The reason is that when a sequence of a form in which only the phase is shifted is used, a problem occurs in distinguishing the sequence, such as whether the phase is shifted due to the channel, so it is difficult to use different sequences.

Method 1 above may be applied to a specific antenna port (e.g., specific Reference Signal (RS) antenna port) and the same rule may be applied to multiple antenna ports. Alternatively, some or all rules among the rules may be applied (or used) for each antenna by considering characteristics for each antenna port.

By considering all of the rules, a sequence may be chosen (or determined or used), which satisfies all conditions presented above and K sequences may be chosen by considering at least one of the rules.

-   -   For example, among a total of M^(N) sequences, K sequences are         chosen, which show PAPR performance of a specific         level/threshold (e.g., X dB) or less when applying the FDSS         filter and shows PAPR performance of a specific level/threshold         (e.g., Y dB) or less even when not applying the FDSS filter to         be defined (or chosen) as one sequence set.

The sequence and/or sequence set may be used for transmitting the reference and/or data by the UE/eNB.

In addition to the sequences chosen according to a condition depending on whether to apply the FDSS filter (assuming that the number of chosen sequences is K or more), K sequences having a low auto-correlation and/or cyclic-auto correlation of a specific level or less are additionally chosen to be determined as one sequence set.

K chosen sequences may be defined (or determined) as one sequence set and used by the UE and the eNB and the eNB may indicate/configure to the UE which sequence the UE is to use at a specific time. For reference, the M-PSK and M-QAM symbols mean a Phase shift keying modulation symbol in which a modulation order is M and a Quadrature Amplitude modulation symbol in which the modulator order is M.

FIG. 13 illustrates one example of a system model and/or a procedure for a DFT-s-OFDM based system.

As an application example of Method 1 above, a CP-OFDM based system and a DFT-s-OFDM based system may be considered. FIG. 13 above illustrates a procedure (or process) which may be required when Method 1 is applied to the DFT-s-OFDM based system.

In FIG. 13 above, a length-N sequence set may be configured in various forms including a sequence set configured by an integer index, a sequence set configured by binary information, and the like. Further, the FDSS may not be used due to a transmitter (UE or eNB) implementation complexity problem or a problem such as an increase in signal transmission error which is caused by using the FDSS filter. By reflecting this, the case of not applying the FDSS and a case of applying the FDSS are separately illustrated in FIG. 13 . Further, this may be selectively applied thereto. Although not illustrated in FIG. 13 above, only one of the case of using the FDSS filter and the case of not using the FDSS filter may be implemented according to implementation of the transmitter and the proposed scheme may be still usefully used even for the transmitter.

By the above proposed scheme, it is advantageous in that the sequence may be defined (or designed or chosen) and used by considering various implementation schemes of the transmitter.

(Method 1-1)

When K proposed sequences are used throughout multiple OFDM symbols in the same slot, the characteristics such as the cross-correlation/auto-correlation among K sequences need to be considered.

-   -   In two concatenated OFDM symbols, among K sequences, when two         sequences are used by using one sequence per symbol, a sequence         first used among K sequences and a sequence having a smallest         cross-correlation may be used in a next symbol. To this end, a         specific sequence and the sequence having the smallest         cross-correlation may be defined (or determined or configured)         as one pair. In other words, a specific sequence index u and a         sequence index u′ having the smallest cross-correlation may be         defined (or configured) as a pair. One example of the one pair         may be (u,u′).

Additionally, in Method 1 above, the sequence may be chosen or found while one or all of six rules {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)}, and {circle around (6)}, mentioned as the rule (or condition) of selecting (or choosing) the sequence according to K(K≤M^(N)) which is a total number value of choosing the sequence. For example, it is assumed that the number of chosen sequences is 100 (i.e., if one sequence set is constituted by 100 sequences) and it is assumed that a sequence of satisfying all of the six conditions (or rules) is found. In this case, a maximum allowed cross-correlation value, a cyclic auto-correlation value, and maximum allowable PAPR values when applying the filter may be configured to specific values and when the sequence is chosen, the number of available sequences may exceed 100.

Accordingly, the number of sequences to be found may be found while fixing the number of sequences to be found and changing the conditions to stronger constraints.

With respect to Method 1 above, a flowchart for a proposed scheme (or algorithm) may be illustrated as shown in FIG. 14 . Further, respective steps of the flowchart may be simultaneously performed or independently performed. Alternatively, an order of the respective steps may be partially changed.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of Method 1 proposed in the present disclosure.

In FIG. 14 , first, the transmitter (UE or eNB) determines N and M in order to find K (>1) sequences in which the length of each sequence is N (>1) and each element constituting the sequence is the M-PSK/M-QAM symbol (S1).

Thereafter, the transmitter 1) configures a PAPR value to be allowed when using a specific FDSS filter and a PAPR value to be allowed when not using the FDSS filter, 2) configures an allowed range/level of the cross-correlation and cyclic auto-correlation values between the sequences, and 3) configures the cyclic shifted sequence to be regarded as the same sequence, in order to determine characteristics of K sequences to be found (S2).

Thereafter, the transmitter finds a sequence that satisfies a predetermined condition by using the configured values (S3). Here, the transmitter repeats a process of choosing the sequence by changing one or more criteria among the configured conditions until K sequences are found when the number of found sequences exceeds K. Here, if K sequences are not accurately generated, K sequences may be excluded and discarded.

Thereafter, the transmitter configures or determines a length-N sequence set with the K chosen sequences (S4).

As a concrete example of the method, 30 sequences (sequence set) in which the sequence length is 6 and each element constituting the sequence is configured by 8-PSK symbols may be defined. In other words, in FIG. 13 , a case where N=6 and M=8 may be considered.

(Method 2)

Method 2 proposes that all sequences presented in Table 9 are used, in which each sequence element is constituted by 8-(Phase Shift Keying (PSK) symbols and the length is 6 or some of the sequences presented in Table 9 are to be used as uplink PUSCH and/or PUCCH DMRS sequences. The proposed sequences may be used for Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) and/or Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM). In this case, since N=6 and M=8, the total number of sequences which may be considered is 8⁶. A rule of generating/choosing/using K (>0) some sequences among a total of 8⁶ sequences is as follows. In the proposal, K=30 is assumed.

A main feature of the proposed sequence is that a low PAPR characteristic of X(>0) dB or less is shown when the FDSS filter (FDSS filter in which the time-domain response is [0.28 1 0.28]) is applied and a low PAPR characteristic of Y(>0) dB is shown even when the FDSS filter is not applied. More specifically, the proposed sequence has the following characteristics. In other words, it is proposed that the UE/eNB is to use a sequence that satisfies the following characteristics/conditions.

-   -   It is characterized in that when the FDSS filter (FDSS filter in         which the time-domain response is [0.28 1 0.28]) is applied, the         PAPR is equal to or lower than approximately 2.1 [dB].     -   When the FDSS filter is not used, a sequence may be chosen and         used, in which the PAPR is equal to or lower than approximately         2.5 [dB].     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.2357) in +1 and         −1 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.4714) in +2,         +1, −1, and −2 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.80474) in +3,         +2, +1, −1, −2, and −3 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   Among K chosen sequences, all available cyclic shifted forms of         a specific length-N sequence may be regarded as the same         sequence. Accordingly, among K chosen sequences, no specific         sequence is the same as an available cyclic shifted form of         another sequence.

In other words, for example, sequence #1 of Table 9 is ‘−7 −5 −1 5 1 −5’ and ‘−5 −1 5 1 −5 −7’ which is a cyclic shift version thereof is the same sequence.

In φ_(u)(n) of Table 9, u represents the index of the sequence and n represents the element of the sequence (or index of the element). For example, when the length of the sequence is 6, n has 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as shown in Table 10.

In Table 9, for example, when the index u is 1, φ_(i)(0), φ_(i)(1), φ_(i)(2), φ_(i)(3), φ_(i)(4), and φ_(i)(5) correspond to −7, 1, −1, −7, 3, and 7, respectively.

Table 19 above shows one example of an 8-PSK based sequence set (length-6) proposed in the present disclosure and the modulation symbols are generated by s_(u)(n)=e^(jφ(n)π/8).

The PAPR performance is evaluated in DFT-s-OFDM having Comb-2 type DMRS for one RB (TS 38.211, TS 38.214, and TS 38.331 are referred to for Comb-2 type DMRS).

The modulation symbols are generated by

${s_{u}(n)} = {e^{\frac{j{\phi_{u}(n)}n}{8}}.}$

-   -   u: Sequence index)     -   n: Element index of each sequence)

The applied FDSS filter corresponds to the time domain response of [0.28 1.0 0.28].

-   -   An IFFT size is 64 and a DFT size is 12.

Excellence in terms of the PAPR performance of the length-6 8-PSK sequence presented in Table 9 above may be confirmed in FIG. 150 . The PAPR performances of a total of 30 sequences corresponding to #1 to #30 among the sequences presented in Table 9 are shown. FIG. 15 above shows the PAPR performance when the sequence presented in Table 9 above is used as the Comb-2 DMRS sequence in the DFT-S-OFDM system.

The PAPR performance when applying the FDD filter (corresponding to the time-domain response of [0.28 1.0 0.28]) and the PAPR performance when not applying the FDSS filter for the presented sequence may be confirmed.

The PAPR performed is presented by distinguishing whether to apply the FDSS similarly even to the conventional presented length-6 8-PSK. Both the conventional scheme and the proposed scheme consider that one sequence set is constituted by 30 sequences and are a PAPR evaluation result therefor. Accordingly, a graph may not be presented with probability (PAPR>PAPR_0)=0.1 or less due to the lack of evaluation samples, but a difference in performance between individual sequences may be clearly confirmed. As the conventional presented length-6 8-PSK sequence, sequences presented in R1-1813445, R1-190081, R1-1900020, and R1-1900673 are referred to.

As illustrated in FIG. 15 , the proposed sequence shows a performance similar to the PAPR characteristic shown by the conventional presented sequence when applying the FDSS filter. In particular, it can be seen that a fine but slightly better performance is shown in a region in which probability (PAPR>PAPR_0)=0.1 or less. When the FDSS filter is not applied, the PAPR performance deteriorates compared with the FDSS filter is applied, but a more excellent PAPR performance than the conventional presented sequence may be confirmed. In other words, it may be confirmed that in 30 proposed sequences, the PAPR does not exceed 2.5 dB even when the FDSS filter is not applied unlike the conventional presented sequence set (30 sequences are presented as one sequence set in respective references R1-1813445, R1-190081, R1-1900020, and R1-1900673).

FIG. 15 illustrates PAPR performance for a proposed set of length-6 sequences in which elements of each sequence are constituted by 8-PSK symbols.

The PAPR values presented in Table 9 and FIG. 15 above may be slightly different depending on the IFFT size and a tool for performing a simulation, but a large trend will be similar. Therefore, it may be considered that even if there is the slight difference, the slight difference does not deviate from the spirit of the method presented in the present disclosure and included in the method proposed in the present disclosure. Further, it should be considered that a sequence generating/choosing method which exceeds the auto-correlation threshold is also included in the spirit of the method proposed in the present disclosure if the sequence is chosen/used by considering whether to use the FDSS or not.

Method 2 above may primarily adopt FDSS filter (corresponding to time-domain response [0.28, 1.00, 0.28]), but may be considered as a sequence providing a comparable PAPR performance even when the FDSS filter is not used.

On the contrary, the sequence may be used so that the PAPR performance when the FDSS filter is not used is more excellent than the PAPR performance when a specific FDSS filter is used.

However, it is designed that even when the specific FDSS filter is used, the comparable PAPR performance may be shown. If there are many cases in which the FDSS filter is not used due to an increase in error rate, which is caused by distortion of an original transmission signal due to transmitter implementation complexity and/or the use of the FDSS filter, a sequence of a scheme proposed in Method 3 below may be usefully used.

(Method 2-2)

Method 2-2 relates to a method in which all sequences presented in Table 7 are used, in which each sequence element is constituted by 8-(Phase Shift Keying (PSK) symbols and the length is 6 or some of the sequences presented in Table 7 are used as uplink PUSCH and/or PUCCH DMRS sequences. The proposed sequences may be used for Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) and/or Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM).

In the case of the method, since N=6 and M=8, the total number of sequences which may be considered is 8⁶. In this example, a total of two antenna ports (e.g., two DMRS antenna ports) are considered and each antenna port is subject to Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) in the form of Comb-2. A rule of generating/choosing/using K (>0) some sequences among a total of 8⁶ sequences is as follows. In the method, K=45 is assumed.

A main feature of the proposed sequence is that two antenna ports subject to FDM in the form of Comb-2 show a low PAPR characteristic of 2.1 dB or less when the FDSS filter (FDSS filter in which the time-domain response is [0.28 1 0.28]) is applied and a low PAPR characteristic of 2.3 dB even when the FDSS filter is not applied.

Additionally, the proposed sequence has the following characteristics.

-   -   The proposed sequence has a characteristic that the maximum         cyclic auto-correlation is equal to or smaller than         approximately 0.2357 in +1 and −1 cyclic auto-correlation lags.     -   The proposed sequence has a characteristic that the maximum         cyclic auto-correlation is equal to or smaller than         approximately 0.8 in +3, +2, +1, −1, −2, and −3 cyclic         auto-correlation lags.     -   Among K chosen sequences, all available cyclic shifted forms of         a specific length-N sequence may be regarded as the same         sequence. Accordingly, among K chosen sequences, no specific         sequence is the same as an available cyclic shifted form of         another sequence.

In other words, for example, sequence #1 of Table 10 is ‘−7 −5 −1 5 1 −5’ and ‘−5 −1 5 1 −5 −7’ which is a cyclic shift version thereof is the same sequence.

Table 10 shows one example of an 8-PSK based sequence set (length-6) proposed in the present disclosure. Here, the modulation symbols are generated by s_(u)(n)=e^(jφ(n)π/8). The PAPR performance is evaluated in DFT-s-OFDM having Comb-2 type DMRS for one RB (TS 38.211, TS 38.214, and TS 38.331 are referred to for Comb-2 type DMRS).

-   -   The modulation symbols are generated by

-   -   u: Sequence index)     -   n: Element index of each sequence).     -   The applied FDSS filter corresponds to a time domain response of         [0.28 1.0 0.28].     -   An IFFT size is 64 and a DFT size is 12.

It is proposed that some or all of the sequences presented in Table 10 above are used. Further, some or all of the sequences presented in Table 10 above and sequences (having different characteristics) not presented in the above table and one sequence set may be constituted and used. It may be considered that such a constitution as an extension (or application) of the present disclosure is included in the spirit of the method proposed in the present disclosure.

In FIG. 16 , the excellence of the sequence proposed in Method 2-2 above may be confirmed. Compared with the conventional sequence, the proposed sequence shows the low PAPR characteristic in both the case of using the FDSS filter and the case of not using the FDSS filter. In particular, in the case of not using the FDSS filter, a difference in PAPR performance between the sequence presented in Method 2-2 and the conventional sequence is significantly large.

FIG. 16 illustrates PAPR performance for a proposed set of length-6 sequences in which elements of each sequence are constituted by 8-PSK symbols.

In Methods 2 and 2-1 above, a length-6 DMRS sequence (Pre-DFT length-6 sequence) is mapped to a time-frequency resource element (RE) by the following scheme.

It is characterized in that when frequency-RE is used as Comb-2 type in the frequency domain, a time-axis signal is shown repeatedly twice. Accordingly, in order to transmit the length-6 DMRS sequence in a step before DFT in the DFT-spread-OFDM system, the length-6 sequence needs to be used by considering that the length-6 sequence is repeated twice in the time domain. Accordingly, in a (pre-)DFT procedure, the length-6 sequence should be used to be repeated twice.

$\begin{matrix} {x_{2N} = {D_{DFT}\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}8} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

Here, D_(DFT) represents a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix.

s_(N)=[s₁, s₂, . . . , s₆] represents a 6×1 vector (one length-6 sequence). Here, each element s_(i) represents M-PSK/M-QAM symbol.

x_(2N) represents a 12×1 vector which is a frequency-domain signal after DFT processing of

$\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}.$

In this case, when the DMRS sequence is transmitted by the DFT-spread-OFDM scheme, a DFT computation is performed by using a form in which the length-6 sequence is repeated twice in the pre-DFT step as mentioned above at the time of transmitting a single-port DMRS.

When the number of DMRS ports is 2, a specific DMRS port may be configured in a comb-2 type in which a frequency offset is 0 and the other DMRS port may be configured in a comb-2 type in which the frequency offset is 1. In this case, when the length-6 sequence to be used in the second DMRS port and the length-6 sequence to be used in the first DMRS port are mapped to a frequency axis through a (pre-)DFT process as shown in Equation 8 above, both the length-6 sequences are allocated to a Comb-2 structure (comb-2 structure in which the frequency offset is 0) having frequency offset “0”.

When the length-6 sequence to be used in the second DMRS port is mapped to the frequency axis through the (pre-)DFT process as shown in Equation 8 above, the length-6 sequence is allocated to the Comb-2 structure having frequency offset “0”. The length-6 sequence is allocated according to Equation 9 below instead of Equation 8 in order to allocate the length-6 sequence to the Comb-2 structure having frequency offset “1” so as to prevent the first DMRS port and the RE from being overlapped with each other.

$\begin{matrix} {x_{2N} = {{KD}_{DFT}\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}9} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

$K = \begin{bmatrix}  & & & & & 0_{1 \times 12} & & & & & & \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\  & & & & & 0_{1 \times 12} & & & & & & \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\  & & & & & 0_{1 \times 12} & & & & & & \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\  & & & & & 0_{1 \times 12} & & & & & & \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\  & & & & & 0_{1 \times 12} & & & & & & \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\  & & & & & 0_{1 \times 12} & & & & & & \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

In Equation 9 above, K is a 12×12 matrix and a matrix which allows elements allocated to an odd-numbered subcarrier resource element (RE) to be allocated to an even-numbered subcarrier RE.

(Method 3)

Method 3 relates to a method in which all sequences presented in Table 11 are used, in which each sequence element is constituted by 12-(Phase Shift Keying (PSK) symbols and the length is 6 or some of the sequences presented in Table 11 are used as uplink PUSCH and/or PUCCH DMRS sequences. The proposed sequences may be used for Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) and/or Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM).

In the case of the method, since N=6 and M=8, the total number of sequences which may be considered is 8⁶.

A rule of generating (or choosing or using) K (>0) some sequences among a total of 8⁶ sequences is as follows.

A main feature of the sequence proposed in the present disclosure is that the low PAPR characteristic of Y (>0) or less is shown when the FDSS filter is not used and the PAPR performance is less excellent when the FDSS filter (FDSS filter in which the time-domain response is [0.28 1 0.28]) than the PAPR performance when the FDSS filter is not used, but the low PAPR characteristic of X (>0) dB or less is still shown. More specifically, the proposed sequence has the following characteristics. In other words, it is proposed that the UE/eNB is to use a sequence that satisfies the following characteristics/conditions.

-   -   It is characterized in that when the FDSS filter (FDSS filter in         which the time-domain response is [0.28 1 0.28]) is applied, the         PAPR is equal to or lower than approximately 2.8 [dB].     -   When the FDSS filter is not used, a sequence may be chosen and         used, in which the PAPR is equal to or lower than approximately         2.1 [dB].     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.2357) in +1 and         −1 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.4714) in +2,         +1, −1, and −2 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.80474) in +3,         +2, +1, −1, −2, and −3 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   Among K chosen sequences, all available cyclic shifted forms of         a specific length-N sequence may be regarded as the same         sequence. Accordingly, among K chosen sequences, no specific         sequence is the same as an available cyclic shifted form of         another sequence.

Table 11 shows one example of a proposed 8-PSK based sequence set (length-6). The modulation symbols are generated by s_(u)(n)=e^(jφ) ^(u) ^((n)π/8). The PAPR performance is evaluated in the DFT-s-OFDM system having the Comb-2 type DMRS for one RB.

FIG. 17 illustrates PAPR performance for a proposed set of length-6 sequences in which elements of each sequence are constituted by 8-PSK symbols.

An advantage of the length-6 8-PSK sequence presented in Table 11 above may be seen in FIG. 17 . FIG. 17 above illustrates the PAPR performance when the sequence presented in Table 11 above is used as the Comb-2 DMRS sequence in the DFT-S-OFDM system. The PAPR performance when applying the FDD filter (corresponding to the time-domain response of [0.28 1.0 0.28]) and the PAPR performance when not applying the FDSS filter for the presented sequence are shown. It may be confirmed that the sequence defined according to Method 3 above shows the PAPR performance of 2.1 dB or less when the FDSS filter is not used.

Methods 2 and 3 above relate to a method that uses a sequence which shows the low PAPR characteristic in a case of applying the FDSS filter (in particular, an FDSS filter in which the time-domain response corresponds to [0.28 1.00 0.28]) and in a case of not applying the FDSS filter, i.e., both cases with respect to the same specific sequence.

However, when the sequence having the low PAPR characteristic is determined (or used) by considering only the case where the FDSS filter is not used or the sequence having the low PAPR characteristic is determined (or used) by assuming only the FDSS filter, a sequence having a lower PAPR characteristic than the sequence in the above case may be used. In other words, since there is a limit that the PAPR performance is good in both the case of applying the filter and the case of not applying the filter, the following method is proposed by considering that there is the limit that the PAPR performance is good.

(Method 4)

Method 4 relates to a method in which elements constituting one sequence are M-PSK/M-QAM symbols and one sequence set is constituted by a total of K sequences having a sequence length of N and K₁(>0) sequences in which a specific PAPR has an excellent characteristic are used when a specific FDSS filter is used and K₂(>0) sequences having the excellent PAPR characteristic are used when the FDSS filter is not used.

The total number of sequences constituting one sequence set is K=K₁+K₂.

By considering multiple environments such as whether specific FDSS filters are used a lot or whether the FDSS filter is not primarily used, the K₁ and K₂ may be considered. For example, if K length-N sequences are defined (or constituted or used) by considering that the specific FDSS filter is primarily used, a sequence set of K₁»K₂>0 may be constituted.

Alternatively, if one sequence set is constituted (or determined) (K sequences are constituted (or determined) by targeting the case where the FDSS filter is not used, a sequence set of K₂»K₁>0 may be constituted (or determined). For example, by assuming K=30, an extreme case such as a case of K₁=27, K₂=3 may be considered.

-   -   For example, if 30 sequences constitute one sequence set by         considering the length-6 sequence constituted by 8-PSK symbols,         a sequence presented in Table 12 below may be used. It is         proposed that some or all of the sequences are used as a         reference signal sequence such as the DMRS in the DFT-s-OFDM         system.     -   Table 12 below is configured by assuming K=K₁+K₂=47.

As shown in Table 12, sequences #1 to #15 are sequence to use not using the FDSS filter as a main target and sequences #16 to #30 are sequences which will consider that FDSS filters corresponding to the time-domain response [0.28 1.0 0.28] are together used and uses together using the FDSS filters as a target. A PAPR performance difference depending on whether to use the filter may be confirmed in Table 13 presented. Further, the following sequence is configured to have the following characteristics.

-   -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.2357) in +1 and         −1 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.4714) in +2,         +1, −1, and −2 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   It is characterized in that the maximum cyclic auto-correlation         is low (equal to or smaller than approximately 0.80474) in +3,         +2, +1, −1, −2, and −3 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   Among K chosen sequences, all available cyclic shifted forms of         a specific length-N sequence may be regarded as the same         sequence. Accordingly, among K chosen sequences, no specific         sequence is the same as an available cyclic shifted form of         another sequence.     -   It is configured so that there is no sequence of a form in which         only the phase is just shifted among K chosen sequences. In         other words, sequences of a form in which six sequence elements         are multiplied by the same phase are regarded as the same         sequence and excluded. In Table 12 below, a first sequence         element of each sequence is fixed to −7, but when all of 6         elements corresponding to each sequence should are similarly         phase-shifted, each sequence should be regarded as the same         sequence. In other words, although not presented in Table 12         below, it can be seen that when the following sequence is         phase-shifted, each sequence which is the same sequence is         included in the sequence proposed in the present disclosure.

Table 12 shows one example of the proposed 8-PSK based sequence set (length-6) and the modulation symbols are generated by s_(u)(n)=e^(jφ) ^(u) ^((n)π/8). The PAPR performance is evaluated in the DFT-s-OFDM system having the Comb-2 type DMRS for one RB.

In Table 12 above, sequences #1 to #15 are sequence to use not using the FDSS filter as a main target and sequences #16 to #47 are sequences which choose (or determine or configure) the case of using the FDSS filter corresponding to the time-domain response [0.28 1.0 0.28] as the target.

(Method 5)

In Method 5, it is apparent that when the FDSS filter is used, the PAPR characteristic is improved with probability, but the PAPR is not optimized in terms of each sequence. As described in the present disclosure, it can be seen that a specific FDSS filter is applied to a specific sequence, the PAPR characteristic of the specific sequence deteriorates.

Based thereon, it is proposed that the transmitter uses different FDSS filters according to a sequence, a sequence group, and/or a set of sequences (sub set) transmitted. Further, one sequence set optimized to the used FDSS filter is constituted (or determined) to be used by the UE/eNB. As one example, a system/device illustrated in FIG. 19 may be considered. Different sequences may be used for each specific RB(s) and/or for each a group of RB(s) and the transmitter may use different sequences for each OFDM symbol and/or for each slot(s).

In order for a receiver to help approximately reconstructing different sequences, the transmitter may inform the receiver of which FDSS filter is to used in the specific sequence. In addition/alternatively, the receiver may indicate to the transmitter which filter is to be used for each specific sequence and for each sequence group. Alternatively, the receiver and the transmitter may predefine (or promise) which FDSS filter is used for which sequence and use the corresponding FDSS filter.

-   -   One sequence set/group/table is constituted and sequences may be         used, which are optimized to FDSS filter #1, FDSS filter #2, . .         . , FDSS filter #D used. In other words, D optimized sequence         groups/sub-sets are configured, to which the PAPR performance         (and/or including various criteria/performances such as         cross-correlation/auto-correlation) is optimized by using the         FDSS filter with respect to D FDSS filters to be used and         defined (or configured) as one set/group, and as a result, the         transmitter may be used for transmitting the reference signals         including the DMRS, the SRS, the CSI-RS, and the like.     -   Additionally, by considering even the case of not using the FDSS         filter, a total of (D+1) sequence groups (or sub-sets) in which         the PAPR performance is optimized are constituted with respect         to the case of using D FDSS filters and the case of not using         the FDSS filter and one sequence set/group/table is constituted,         and as a result, the transmitter may be used for transmitting         the reference signal/data signal.

FIG. 18 illustrates one example for adaptively applying an FDSS filter proposed in the present disclosure.

NR Rel-16 supports binary CGS in Tables 1, 2, and 3 with respect to lengths 12, 18, and 14, respectively and then pi/2 BPSK modulation is followed, and then DFT is followed as a DMRS sequence for π/2 BPSK modulation with respect to both the PUSCH and the PUCCH.

The above contents are applicable to a single DMRS configuration. CGS for a 2-symbol DMRS configuration may be discussed. Tables 1, 2, and 3 may be discovered in R1-1901362.

Here, the CGS may be used up to length-8 and 8-PSK may be used for length-6.

Hereinafter, in the 2-symbol DMRS configuration, a computer generation sequence applying method will be described.

In two symbols, the same computer generate sequence (CGS) may be used.

In a CGS set (among 30 sequences), when a specific sequence is used in a first symbol, the specific sequence is configured to be used in a next symbol in link therewith.

In this case, among other sequences other than the specific sequence used in the first symbol, a sequence having a lowest cross-correlation with the specific sequence used in the first symbol may be used in a second symbol in a sequence set/group/table.

Alternatively, according to another criterion, two sequences may be made into one pair and predetermined (or defined) to be used in two concatenated OFDM symbols or the eNB may configure (or indicate) the sequence pair to the UE.

It is conceivable that independent computer generation sequences (CGSs) are used with respect to a first (1^(st)) DMRS symbol and a second (2^(nd)) DMRS symbol, respectively.

To this end, 30 CGSs are defined per symbol to define a total of 60 CGSs. In this case, 30 sequences may be considered as one sequence set.

In this case, it may be considered that the sequence set is defined so that the cross-correlation between two sequence sets is minimized. Alternatively, when the specific sequence is used in the first (1^(st)) DRMS symbol, a specific sequence and/or specific sequence sub-set (some of 30 sequences) to be used in the second (2^(nd)) DMRS symbol may be used.

8-PSK is used with respect to length-6 CGS.

In the case of PUSCH having one OFDM symbol DMRS and pi/2 BPSK modulation, one of the following alternatives is selected.

Alternative 0: Only a single DMRS is supported (one comb is used).

Alternative 1: One DMRS port is supported per comb (in a total of 2 ports).

Alternative 2: Two DMRS ports are supported per comb (in a total of 4 ports).

Hereinafter, an additional embodiment for Method 2 described above will be described through Method 2-1.

(Method 2-1)

Method 2-1 relates to relaxing the cyclic auto-correlation performance in Method 2 above. A sequence having a better PAPR characteristic may be used through relaxation and there may be a method in which the number of sequences constituting one sequence set is significantly increased to selectively/adaptively use the sequences. In Method 2, when the condition of Method 2 is relaxed under a condition in which the PAPR is 2.3 dB or less at the time of using the FDSS filter and the PAPR is 3.2 dB or less at the time of not using the FDSS filter, sequences presented in Table 13 below may be obtained. It is proposed that one or more some sequences or all sequences of the sequences presented in Table 13 above are used as the DFT-spread-OFDM based DMRS sequence.

Table 13 shows one example of the proposed 8-PSK based sequence set (length-6) and the modulation symbols are generated by s_(u)(n)=e^(jφ) ^(u) ^((n)π/8). The PAPR performance is evaluated in the DFT-s-OFDM system having the Comb-2 type DMRS for one RB.

(Method 6)

In Method 6, it is characterized in that when frequency-RE is used as Comb-2 type in the frequency domain, a time-axis signal is shown repeatedly twice. Accordingly, in order to transmit the length-6 DMRS sequence in a step before DFT in the DFT-spread-OFDM system, the length-6 sequence needs to be used by considering that the length-6 sequence is repeated twice in the time domain. Accordingly, in a (pre-)DFT procedure, the length-6 sequence should be used to be repeated twice.

$\begin{matrix} {x_{2N} = {D_{DPT}\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}10} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

Here, D_(DFT) represents a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix.

s_(N)=[s₁, s₂, . . . , s₆] represents a 6×1 vector (one length-6 sequence) and each element s_(i) represents the M-PSK/M-QAM symbol.

x_(2N) represents a 12×1 vector which is a frequency-domain signal after DFT processing of

$\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}.$

In this case, when the DMRS sequence is transmitted by the DFT-spread-OFDM scheme, a DFT computation is performed by using a form in which the length-6 sequence is repeated twice in the pre-DFT step as mentioned above at the time of transmitting a single-port DMRS.

When the number of DMRS ports is 2, a specific DMRS port may be configured in a comb-2 type in which a frequency offset is 0 and the other DMRS port may be configured in a comb-2 type in which the frequency offset is 1. In this case, when the length-6 sequence to be used in the second DMRS port and the length-6 sequence to be used in the first DMRS port are mapped to a frequency axis through a (pre-)DFT process as shown in Equation 8 above, both the length-6 sequences are allocated to a Comb-2 structure (comb-2 structure in which the frequency offset is 0) having the same frequency offset. Accordingly, when both DMRS ports are used, a shifting operation on the frequency axis may be additionally required. However, in this case, since the additional shifting operation is required, the two-port DMRS sequence may be transmitted/configured to single symbols through different (even and odd) Comb-2 by the following scheme.

Sequence transmitted to first DRMS port: s_(N) ⁽¹⁾∈C^(6×1) (6×1 vector)

Sequence transmitted to second DRMS port: s_(N) ⁽²⁾∈C^(6×1) (6×1 vector)

The sequence may be a different sequence or the same sequence selected in the length-6 DMRS sequence table.

In order to transmit the sequences transmitted in both DMRS ports through different Comb-2, the sequence transmitted to the first DRMS port is multiplied by the DFT matrix in the form of

$\begin{bmatrix} s_{N}^{(1)} \\ s_{N}^{(1)} \end{bmatrix}$ for the (pre-)DFT processing (the DFT processing is performed) and in the case of the second DMRS port, the (pre-)DFT processing may be performed in the form of

$\begin{bmatrix} s_{N}^{(2)} \\ {- s_{N}^{(2)}} \end{bmatrix}{and}/{{{or}\begin{bmatrix} {- s_{N}^{(2)}} \\ {+ s_{N}^{(2)}} \end{bmatrix}}.}$ Consequently, for the sequence transmitted to the second DMRS port, even though additional shifting processing is not performed after DFT processing, a non-zero value is configured/transmitted to six odd-numbered REs as the frequency offset is set to 1 and 0 or the non-zero value is mapped/transmitted to six even-numbered REs.

For first DMRS port:

$\begin{matrix} {x_{2N} = {D_{DFT}\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}11} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

For second DMRS port:

$\begin{matrix} {x_{2N} = {{{D_{DFT}\begin{bmatrix} s_{N} \\ {- s_{N}} \end{bmatrix}}{or}x_{2N}} = {D_{DFT}\begin{bmatrix} {- s_{N}} \\ s_{N} \end{bmatrix}}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}12} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

In the scheme, the sequences transmitted to both ports, respectively are orthogonal to each other on the frequency axis even though time-domain OCC is not configured at the (pre-)DFT end, the sequences are distinguished. In other words, different sequences may be mapped (or configured or transmitted) to both DMRS ports.

For reference, the first and second DMRS ports mentioned in the present disclosure mean different DMRS ports and are independent of a DMRS port index.

In Methods 2, 2-1, and 2-2 mentioned above, a frequency RE mapping matrix is multiplied after DFT in order to map two antenna ports (e.g., two DMRS antenna ports) onto the frequency axis through two Comb-2 structures.

In Methods 2, 2-1, and 2-2, two different antenna ports may be considered and a case may be considered in which Method 6 above is used for Comb-2 type frequency RE mapping for each antenna port.

In other words, referring to Equations 11 and 12 of Method 6, length-6 sequences transmitted to first and second antenna ports after pre-DFT are allocated to a frequency RE in which the frequency offset is “0” and a frequency RE in which the frequency offset is “1”, respectively. By considering Method 6 above, Method 2-3 below is proposed similarly to Method 2-2.

Hereinafter, an additional embodiment for Method 2 described above will be described through Method 2-3.

(Method 2-3)

Method 2-3 relates to a method in which all sequences presented in Table 15 are used, in which each sequence element is constituted by 15-(Phase Shift Keying (PSK) symbols and the length is 6 or some of the sequences presented in Table 15 are used as uplink PUSCH and/or PUCCH DMRS sequences.

The proposed sequences may be used for Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) and/or Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM). In the case of Method 2-3, since N=6 and M=8, the total number of sequences which may be considered is 8⁶. Here, a total of two antenna ports (e.g., two DMRS antenna ports) are considered and each antenna port is subject to Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) in the form of Comb-2.

In this case, in order to map the length-6 sequences of two antenna ports through the Comb-2 structure, like equation 11 and equation 12 of method 6 above, the length-6 sequence of the first port is repeated twice and the length-6 sequence of the second port is repeatedly output by changing a sign.

A rule of generating (or choosing or using) K (>0) some sequences among a total of sequences is as follows. Here, K=45 is assumed.

A main feature of the proposed sequence is that two antenna ports subject to FDM in the form of Comb-2 show a low PAPR characteristic of 2.2 dB or less when the FDSS filter (FDSS filter in which the time-domain response is [0.28 1 0.28]) is applied and a low PAPR characteristic of 2.9 dB even when the FDSS filter is not applied.

Additionally, the proposed sequence has the following characteristics.

-   -   The proposed sequence has a characteristic that the maximum         cyclic auto-correlation is equal to or smaller than         approximately 0.2357 in +1 and −1 cyclic auto-correlation.     -   The proposed sequence has a characteristic that the maximum         cyclic auto-correlation is equal to or smaller than         approximately 0.85 in +3, +2, +1, −1, −2, and −3 cyclic         auto-correlation lags.     -   Among K chosen sequences, all available cyclic shifted forms of         a specific length-N sequence may be regarded as the same         sequence. Accordingly, among K chosen sequences, no specific         sequence is the same as an available cyclic shifted form of         another sequence.

Low-PAPR Sequence Generation Type 2

Additionally, low-PAPR sequence generation type 2 will be described in brief.

A low-PAPR sequence r_(u,v) ^((n,δ))(n) may be defined by a base sequence r _(u,v)(n) according to Equation 13 below. r _(u,v) ^((n,δ))(n)= r _(u,v)(n), 0≤n<M  [Equation 13]

Here, M=mN_(sc) ^(RB)/2^(δ) represents the length of the sequence. Multiple sequences are defined from a single base sequence through different values of α and δ.

Base sequences r _(u,v)(n) are divided into groups and here, u∈{0, 1, . . . , 29} represents a group number and v represents a base sequence number in the group. Each group includes one base sequence v=0 having a length of M=mN_(sc) ^(RB)/2^(δ), ½≤m/2^(δ). A sequence r _(u,v)(0), . . . , r _(u,v)(M−1) is defined by Equation 14 below.

$\begin{matrix} {{{\overset{\sim}{r}}_{u,v}(n)} = {\frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}{\sum\limits_{i = 0}^{M - 1}{{{\overset{\sim}{r}}_{u,v}(i)}e^{{- j}\frac{2\min}{M}}}}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}14} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$ n = 0, …, M − 1

Here, a definition of r _(u,v)(i) depends on the sequence length.

Low-PAPR sequence generation type 2 above may be divided into (1) sequences having length 30 or larger and (2) sequences having a length less than 30.

The sequences having the length less than 30 will be described in brief.

Sequences of length less than 30

The sequence r _(u,v)(i) is given by Equation 15 below for M=6. r _(u,v)(0)=e ^(jφ(i)π/8),0≤i≤M−1  [Equation 15]

Here, a value of φ(i) may be given as shown in the above described tables.

The sequence r _(u,v)(i) is obtained by complex value modulation symbols due to π/2-BPSK modulation for M∈{12,18,24}.

FIG. 23 illustrates a signal processing circuit applied to the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 23 a signal processing circuit 1000 may include a scrambler 1010, a modulator 1020, a layer mapper 1030, a precoder 1040, a resource mapper 1050, and a signal generator 1060. Although not limited thereto, an operation/function of FIG. 23 may be performed by the processors 102 and 202 and/or the transceivers 106 and 206 of FIG. 22 . Hardware elements of FIG. 23 may be implemented in the processors 102 and 202 and/or the transceivers 106 and 206 of FIG. 22 . For example, blocks 1010 to 1060 may be implemented in the processors 102 and 202 of FIG. 22 . Further, blocks 1010 to 1050 may be implemented in the processors 102 and 202 of FIG. 17 and the block 1060 of FIG. 22 and the block 2760 may be implemented in the transceivers 106 and 206 of FIG. 22 .

A codeword may be transformed into a radio signal via the signal processing circuit 1000 of FIG. 23 . Here, the codeword is an encoded bit sequence of an information block. The information block may include transport blocks (e.g., a UL-SCH transport block and a DL-SCH transport block). The radio signal may be transmitted through various physical channels (e.g., PUSCH and PDSCH).

Specifically, the codeword may be transformed into a bit sequence scrambled by the scrambler 1010. A scramble sequence used for scrambling may be generated based on an initialization value and the initialization value may include ID information of a wireless device. The scrambled bit sequence may be modulated into a modulated symbol sequence by the modulator 1020. A modulation scheme may include pi/2-BPSK(pi/2-Binary Phase Shift Keying), m-PSK(m-Phase Shift Keying), m-QAM(m-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), etc. A complex modulated symbol sequence may be mapped to one or more transport layers by the layer mapper 1030. Modulated symbols of each transport layer may be mapped to a corresponding antenna port(s) by the precoder 1040 (precoding). Output z of the precoder 1040 may be obtained by multiplying output y of the layer mapper 1030 by precoding matrix W of N*M. Here, N represents the number of antenna ports and M represents the number of transport layers. Here, the precoder 1040 may perform precoding after performing transform precoding (e.g., DFT transform) for complex modulated symbols. Further, the precoder 1040 may perform the precoding without performing the transform precoding.

The resource mapper 1050 may map the modulated symbols of each antenna port to a time-frequency resource. The time-frequency resource may include a plurality of symbols (e.g., CP-OFDMA symbol and DFT-s-OFDMA symbol) in a time domain and include a plurality of subcarriers in a frequency domain. The signal generator 1060 may generate the radio signal from the mapped modulated symbols and the generated radio signal may be transmitted to another device through each antenna. To this end, the signal generator 1060 may include an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) module, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) insertor, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), a frequency uplink converter, and the like.

A signal processing process for a receive signal in the wireless device may be configured in the reverse of the signal processing process (1010 to 1060) of FIG. 23 . For example, the wireless device (e.g., 100 or 200 of FIG. 22 ) may receive the radio signal from the outside through the antenna port/transceiver. The received radio signal may be transformed into a baseband signal through a signal reconstructer. To this end, the signal reconstructer may include a frequency downlink converter, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a CP remover, and a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) module. Thereafter, the baseband signal may be reconstructed into the codeword through a resource de-mapper process, a postcoding process, a demodulation process, and a de-scrambling process. The codeword may be reconstructed into an original information block via decoding. Accordingly, a signal processing circuit (not illustrated) for the receive signal may include a signal reconstructer, a resource demapper, a postcoder, a demodulator, a descrambler, and a decoder.
